Introduction

Rebounding is another very important aspect needed to help your team win basketball games. Offensive rebounding gives your team extra chances to score, while frustrating the defense. On the other side of the ball, having the ability to hold opponents to 1 shot each time down the court is key to a good defense. Defensive rebounding combined with a quick outlet pass can be an effective offensive weapon, getting the transition game and fast break going, for a lay-up at the other end. Good rebounders typically have “an attitude" that every rebound is theirs and are very aggressive on the boards. You’ve got to want it more than your opponent!

Main Points/ Cues for Rebounding Drills:

1. Locate your man. 2. Locate the ball. 3. Keep your body between the ball and your opponent. 4. Try to get the ball at its highest point! 5. Quickly bring the ball into your body to protect it from your opponent. 6. Land in a strong, ready position and look for an “outlet” opportunity.
